The s7000 has three different display modes: Screen, viewfinder, and off. Screen is for looking at the big screen, viewfinder is for looking through the digital viewfinder, and off should turn off all the displays. Try pressing the DISP button once. That should reactivate the screen and make it possible to use the camera again.

Further research indicates this is a common problem with JVC camcorders.
If it were a car there probably would have been a factory recall. I'm sending it to JVC Service,1500 Lakes Parkway,Lawrenceville,GA 30043 for repair.

Cycled through display options, still couldn't get viewfinder image. Checked images already on card, and they showed OK, so screen operating properly. Went back to viewfinder mode, got lots of horizontal lines across screen. Realised I could do no more, so took camera to shop it was bought from, who checked it and said it had an electronic problem that neededprofessional repair facility, so camera has gone for an estimate of repair cost.

If you get a blank LCD, dimly lightened by a whitish back light, then the LCD display eis either faulty, badly connected, or the ribbon connector to LCD is defective.The camera must be taken apart, ribbon cable tested, and eventually replaced and adjusted.If all contacts on ribbon cable return continuity (cable is fine), then LCD is faulty, and must be replaced.Althought the job is not too difficult, an user without experience may damage the camera in attempting this repair.My first suggestion is always taking the unit to a camera shop.
